ObjectiveTo evaluate the clinical and radiographic outcomes of an anterior-only approach for the correction of severe cervical kyphotic deformities.MethodsWe performed a retrospective study of 33 consecutive patients with severe cervical kyphosis treated with an anterior cervical operation and preoperative and intraoperative skull traction. Cobb angle, kyphosis index (KI), kyphosis level, C2–7 sagittal vertical axis (SVA), and T1 slope were measured. The preoperative and postoperative Japanese Orthopedic Association (JOA) scores, visual analog scale (VAS) score for neck pain, Neck Disability Index (NDI) scores, and cervical alignment were compared.ResultsThe mean angle of the kyphosis was 83.2 ± 20.4°. The mean Cobb angle of the operative region was 71.7 ± 18.5° preoperation, which was reduced to 10.6 ± 5.7° postoperation (mean correction, 85.2%). The mean KI was 75.1 ± 18.2 preoperation, which was reduced to 14.4 ± 9.1 postoperation (mean correction, 80.8%). The preoperative and postoperative mean C2–7 Cobb angle was 53.8 ± 16.5° and 14.7 ± 7.6°, respectively. The preoperative and postoperative mean C2–7 SVA was 3.9 ± 14.5 mm and 12.8 ± 7.3 mm, respectively. The preoperative and postoperative mean T1 slope was −9.4 ± 15.7° and 7.3 ± 13.1°, respectively. The average postoperative C2–7 Cobb angle, Cobb angle of the operative region, KI, C2–7 SVA, and T1 slope changed significantly compared with preoperative values (P< 0.05). The average postoperative JOA, VAS, and NDI scores improved significantly compared with preoperative scores (P< 0.05).ConclusionsPreoperative and intraoperative skull traction combined with anterior-only cervical operation may be a safe and effective technique for treating severe cervical kyphosis. If the postoperative correction is >80%, sufficient decompression could be achieved.
